[QUOTE="dannewhouse, post: 3364718, member: 43882"] the suckler game would be great having 3 calves in 11 months but this is only really possible with triplets. but twins followed by a single would be great even better less than 12 months calving. not looking at cow at same point in cycle. its like the buying cow + calf + incalf = 3 lives, no its 2 lives + pregnancy if its 1 month in calf would you give 1/3 less a month ago and bull it yourself? I once read up a lot about twinning in America they bred year after year only from twins they had something like a 98% twin % but they couldn't hold a 12 month calving interval regardless of feed. it slipped to a manageable 18months so they rated the twins as 133% ie 4 calves in 3 years as appose to traditional 100% = 3 calves in 3 years (1 per year) [/QUOTE]
